A good quality suitcase or backpack

If your guy is still schlepping his belongings around in an old duffel bag or an ancient backpack, it’s time for an upgrade. A well-made suitcase or backpack will make packing and unpacking a breeze, and will last for years with proper care.

Being named the best travel bag of 2020 by the trade press doesn’t go unnoticeable and the Osprey Farpoint 55L backpack will be worthy of this award for ages to come. Safe, versatile and very comfortable, this backpack is Osprey´s premium answer for both travel and camping.

Years of experience have enabled this American brand to provide you with one of the most comfortable suspension systems on the market named the LightFrame™ harness with a lightweight, breathable back panel to give you a cool, friction-free load experience

This spacious zippered ventilated mesh panel allows you to carry the Fairpoint like a backpack but fill it up like an suitcase. The back system is strong and durable, so all your hotel belongings will be safe while travelling or going on the vacation-no need for worry there! And if something does happen at airport security? No problem; just remove one strap before throwing everything into this bad boy’s bag dimensionally speaking (which means less scanning time!). This is definitely one of the best travel accessories for men you can get.

The sling bag can be a valuable partner in your travels. It is a smaller, more portable version of the backpack. 

They come in many different styles and sizes with some being able to fit over one shoulder like an attaché case while others will have two straps that cross at your chest level when worn across body height for hands-free carrying.

The Pacsafe Venturesafe X Anti-Theft Sling Pack is a cool, durable, and comfortable bag that will keep your stuff safe on the road. This bag would make a great accessory for a man who travels.

Clothing & Fashion

A packable jacket can be one of the most useful travel gifts for men. 

If your male friend or partner is a nature lover this accessory will complete his winter grear. Not made for hikes or super low temperatures, the packable jacket can however keep someone dry and warm in low temperatures. It can be used as an extra layer, thrown in at the last minute useful in a skiing trip or winter camping adventure; that backup rain coat might be the insurance you need when bad weather threatens to ruin your day on the trails. 

Packable coats are extremely practical because they literally compress into the size of a big wallet and will fit easily in the suitcase without taking too much space during the travel.

While packable windbreakers or down coats don’t turn into smaller, vehicular versions of themselves, they can be rolled-up and entirely stored within one of their own pockets. Once packed, such coats can be sealed via a convenient cinched or zipped closure.

Check out this item in detail below, but we can assure you this can be a great travel gift for any man who loves travelling and especially white sports and nature.

A packable daypack is an essential part of a packing list for any adventurer. It fits easily in the baggage and it has multiple purproses uses from sightseeing to shopping and carrying gadgets.

A collapsible daypack is also useful when you don’t need a bag for the whole day. Weighing only 90 grams and having a capacity of 18L, the Osprey daypack is the best lightweight backpack we’ve seen on the market. It’s not much heavier than the Sea to Summit, although it’s a bit bigger when packed away.

Some of the cool features are padding, more pockets, and less wrinkly fabric making it a cool gift for all the men travelers out there.

The Osprey has one water bottle pocket on the side in a stretchy fine mesh that looks better than those on the budget backpacks.
